Is there any reason you would need a gig of RAM? Unless you're trying to simulate the weather or design nuclear weapons, it's hard to imagine how you'd make use of so much RAM. I've got 448 MB in my main machine, and I haven't figured out a useful way to come close to using it all. In your place, I'd just get one pair of 128 MB sticks and see what that does for me. If that -- with what can be used of the existing memory -- still left me feeling that memory is tight, I'd then get another pair. >Although I'd love to move up to a G4 finances just aren't going to allow >that.

The money you save on four 128 MB sticks, plus what you can get for the 300 MHz card, should more than pay for a 450MHz/1MB Sonnet G3 card.* >Linda - Aaron * Contact me off-list if interested in a deal involving the your 300 MHz card. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
